If you ever feel discouraged as a writer, think of the time I got a vaguely threatening, negative personal rejection from a transgressive lit magazine.

Would someone please just do it

It's out and beautifully done <3. Support your local dead billionaire.

I've been yapping about this for years. The whole rest of the world reads translated fiction on the regular. The Hugos *really* need this category.

I've been lurking on an AI "writing" subreddit. Caught this gem yesterday.

💾 New from me: i interviewed @cara.city about the Telnet literary zine New Session, rejecting algorithms & AI brainrot, and the return of what i’m calling the Slow Internet 🐢 🖥️

reminded today of a story I wrote about hockey and the folks it eats up only to spit out later. you can read "GOAT" over at Joyland joylandmagazine.com/fiction/goat/

Just caught this in the wild <3

american citizens will be so overjoyed with the ability to say slurs at work that they will no longer need to consume food nor purchase consumer goods

Who did this

ICYMI, @mariahaskins.com in @strangehorizons.bsky.social ALSO had really nice things to say about @mariocoelho.bsky.social's billionaire-killing sentient symbiotes story from Reckoning 9, "We Will Not Dream of Corals": strangehorizons.com/wordpress/no...

<3

ICYMI, @bookjockeyalex.bsky.social's "Must Read Short Speculative Fiction" column for January includes @mariocoelho.bsky.social's story from Reckoning 9, "We Will Not Dream of Corals"! "[T]his story felt like perfect timing with the current state of the world." reactormag.com/must-read-sh...

Cheers for the shout. I hope to turn my earnest love for ecoterrorism into an honest living, one day. reactormag.com/must-read-sh...

Unfortunately, I've been absent for the past week, but please go check out this wonderfully cathartic story.

This story was inspired by my passion for dead billionaires. Free Luigi.

Only saw this now. Man <3 <3 <3

me collecting my Hugo Award

Huge, huge respect to Samantha Mills. The Hugos apparently excluding Chinese-language novels is even worse than the other censorship shenanigans. Really hammers home the idea that it's an award by Anglo authors, to Anglo authors. Anglocon, not Worldcon, I guess.

'Burn You the Fuck Alive' by B.R Yeager was as brilliant as I was expecting. Yeager writes the horror of the human body* like nobody else does, or dares to. *Not to be confused with body horror, which there's also loads of here.
